Chapter 268 - Genius Alchemist

The truth was that Chi Shuyan really did plan to try gambling on stones first. Qi Zhenbai went along with what his wife wanted. Even if she lost nine out of ten times, he could afford it no matter how much money his wife lost.

Qi Zhenbai planned to give her a supplementary card, but when the man suggested it, Chi Shuyan firmly refused. Seeing the man’s unsightly face, she hurriedly explained, “I spent too much of your money today. If I make you destitute one day, what then?”

Qi Zhenbai’s face softened and his thin lips curved up in an interested smile. “Then you can test and see if you have the ability! I’ll give you a supplementary card tomorrow! Use it however you want!”

Saying that, the man first gave her a black card. In the entire capital, and even in the entire country, very few people had a black card. This black card not only represented money, but also status.

When the man handed her the black card and spat out the password without hesitation, the corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched. It seemed that the big thigh she was holding on to was really inlaid with gold.

The two originally planned to walk around, but Qi Zhenbai had come at the last minute, and still had things to do at the company. She let the man go back to work and took a taxi back to the apartment.

Although she took the black card from the man, she didn’t plan to use it. She accepted it earlier mainly because she was afraid that the man would be angry. Fine, she didn’t want to waste the man’s money and make him dislike her.

This man was also a marvel!

Chi Shuyan finished processing the herbs and planned to try cultivating some of them. As for the pill furnace, she ran her hands over it from the inside out. It should be quite sturdy. As long as she wasn’t refining high-grade pills, the furnace shouldn’t explode this time.

This pill furnace was actually quite worth the money. It wasn’t that it was expensive, but the main reason was that she was too poor. Moreover, with the lack of pill formulas on Earth, there were very few people who knew how to refine pills. Just a bottle of mid- and high-grade pills could make people fight over it. As for the pill furnace, there was more supply than demand. This was also the reason why, even if the pill furnace was expensive, it was still cheaper than the pills, and no one fought with her over it.

Since she had decided to try her hand at gambling, Chi Shuyan planned to go to the stone gambling den in a few days to check out the place.

She also knew that stone gambling mainly depended on luck. She admitted that her luck wasn’t as good as that kid’s, Lu Chengfu, and hoped that he would get her off to a good start. Of course, she wouldn’t be stingy with his reward

There was no hurry today!

Chi Shuyan still decided to try refining pills again, but she didn’t plan to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill this time. Instead, she planned to refine level 1 Strength Amassing Pill and Energy Recovery Pill. The former could increase a person’s strength to a certain extent, while the latter could enable a person to recover their energy quickly. It was useful for her, and more importantly, it was very easy to sell.

In fact, she was thinking of refining pills which Qi Zhenbai could use, but he had never cultivated before, and there was still a risk in taking medicinal pills. However, an elementary medicinal pill like the Strength Amassing Pill would be quite suitable for him.

After Chi Shuyan returned to her room, she cast a barrier and took out the materials she had prepared. This time, she wasn’t as apprehensive as she had been during her first pill refinement. It was just that she was still afraid of the cauldron exploding during the process.

Chi Shuyan first tried refining the level 1 Strength Amassing Pill. Before she started, she set up a Spirit Gathering Array.

When there was abundant spiritual energy inside, her fingertips sparked with a flame, which she placed under the pill furnace. She then put the herbs she had prepared into the pill furnace. When the fragrance came out, she immediately began to perform spirit seals until the pill was condensed. This was the most crucial step. Chi Shuyan curbed her thoughts until a thick pill fragrance wafted out of the pill furnace.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t wait to open the pill furnace, and she found a total of eight pills inside, four of which had pill patterns on them.

She vaguely remembered from the ancient pill formula that only something called supreme-level pills had spirit patterns on them, and they were even better than level 1 spirit pills. Not only were the medicinal effects good, they also had no impurities.

But didn’t the ancient pill formula say that supreme-level patterned pills were extremely precious and rarely appeared? Chi Shuyan looked at the four supreme-level Strength Amassing Pills with spirit patterns in the furnace with a blank expression.
